Getting Umbraco member properties with only login value
I have a small Umbraco site with a few umbraco members added. The login property for each member is their email address. I've set up a small form for users to enter their email address. On submit, I would like XSLT to get that members details and print to screen. The umbraco library extension 'GetMember()' works if you have the ID of the member. In this case I need to be able to use the member's login value to do the lookup.
<!-- Theoretical variable to do member lookup <xsl:variable name="member" select="umbraco.library.GetMemberByLogin($memberLogin)"/> -->
<p> <xsl:value-of select=”$member/login” /> <!—Renders member login value –> <xsl:value-of select=”$member/email” /> <!—Renders member email address –> <xsl:value-of select=”$member/@id” /> <!—Renders member ID –> <xsl:value-of select=”$member/customFieldName1” /> <!—Renders member custom fields name #1 –> <xsl:value-of select=”$member/customFieldName2” /> <!—Renders member custom fields name #2 –> <xsl:value-of select=”$member/customFieldName3” /> <!—Renders member custom fields name #3 –> </p>
So basically I need help with the second variable. What syntax is used to get member details if you know the login value. Please and thank you.
If I remember correctly Umbraco does not return those values in the extension - I think you need to create your own extension in order to be able to receive them. I know this post is from 2009 but if you're using Umbraco 4..5+ I think the stuff mentioned and linked in it is still true http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/3919-Creating-members-with-custom-properties
The main issue I face is doing a member lookup based on the login value rather than the ID value. GetMember(1234)/propertyValue works fine but i need a way to do GetmMember(jon@email.com)/propertyvalue... IE ... lookup the member via the login value, not their Umbraco ID.

Jan,
